Honestly I agree with you I'm not even sure why they built that place. They should have made it all Park because the police are never there I was there at 1 p.m. in the afternoon and there was a phone you could lift that would connect you with another police precinct that actually had people working at it they should have just made an armed parking lot and a larger Park. Why have that nice office building. Maybe they shouldn't have built anything there and put another couple officers on the street. Vancouver never makes good decisions though.
Just recently they got the ok to hire 100 more officers but honestly the city doesn’t allocate the funds to the police department. You get one cop patrolling a 6 mile radius. 6 on patrol on any given night and if they get a call for let’s say a domestic violence which is like this states number one money pit, they all go. Sometimes they have to go and assist the sheriff’s department. It’s rare if a state ever has funding for the most crucial of its needs like paramedics, cops, fireman, and schools. Instead they build bridges and property because I guess it makes sense to build more apartments to hold more people so that the cops are really out numbered. In the next two years Vancouver will have gone from 300,000 in residents to 600,000 the last of the city concerns were how to make Vancouver a more attractive place to visit and how to make all that happen by either charging higher taxes to home owners, business owners, or both. As if we don’t pay enough taxes.
